Chang's perceptive photos showed the ordinary, exhausted people buried beneath the heavy makeup, the costumes, the confetti, the expectations. In his newest book Double Happiness, Chang digs deeper, documenting the made-to-order marriages of Taiwan men and their Vietnamese brides?virtual strangers until...
